LATISSE®

What is LATTISE?

LATISSE® solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis
used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.
Hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough
eyelashes. Rejuvaderm MediSpa's Cranston, Rhode Island ( RI ) location
will answer any questions you may have about LATTISE® eyelash growth
products.

How does LATISSE® work?

LATISSE® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the
eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this
phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.
The exact way it works is unknown.

Is LATISSE® effective?

The LATISSE® clinical study was conducted at 16 sites across the
country and included 278 participants, featuring women and men of various
ages (22 to 78), backgrounds and eye colors. Throughout the course of the
16-week treatments with the eyelash growth products, each participant was
photographed and evaluated at 4-week intervals (week 0 to week 16) for
differences in their overall lash prominence, including elements of
length, thickness and fullness. At 16 weeks, the results showed that
LATISSE® was effective for 78% of those participating, versus 18% for
the vehicle group. Vehicle is the same as LATISSE®, without its active
ingredient.

How do I apply LATISSE®?

LATISSE® solution is a once-a-day treatment eyelash growth product
you apply yourself each evening to the base of the upper eyelashes. DO NOT
APPLY in your eye or to the lower lid, because excess hair growth outside
the treatment area may occur.

What are the possible side effects of LATISSE®?

The most common side effects after using LATISSE® solution are an
itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. This was reported in
approximately 4% of patients. LATISSE® solution may cause other less
common side effects which typically occur on the skin close to where
LATISSE® eyelash growth products are applied, or in the eyes. These
include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness
of the eyelids.

If you develop a new ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection),
experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have ocular surgery, or
develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid
reactions, you should immediately seek your physician's advice concerning
the continued use of LATISSE® solution.
